These are the Working Groups
the Society is currently participating in

An OPTIC
WORKING GROUP has been established to
research, document and evaluate all areas related to the optics portion
of lighthouse illumination, particularly Fresnel lenses. A future
aim is to supply information on removal, storage, shipment, restoration
and safe display.

AnARCHITECTURE
WORKING GROUP has been established to
research and document different types of architecture, why they were used,
whether just for practical or aesthetic reasons or both, the different
types of construction methods used for rock stations, different kinds of
construction material, how they were built, how they stand up to various
types of weather and so on.

A LIGHT VESSEL WORKING GROUP

aids to navigation. The Group aims to assist with the maintenance
and restoration of existing light vessels that are no longer required as
active aids to navigation.

A FOG SIGNAL WORKING GROUP
is planned to
research and document fog signals from the earliest basic gong to the most
modern electronic sounding device.

Other Working Groups are planned, to
include Seamarks, Alternative Use and Heritage.
